The slogan accurately reflects what the movement is about. If you don't like the slogan, then you actually don't like the cause, whether you admit it or not.

Culture Wars · Free Speech · RaceCultural Appropriation is fineFor1 comment·Aug 18, 2021
Culture appropriation and mutual penetration of cultures is so natural, so common among all human history and stipulated so much to enrich the world culture that it is hard to believe somebody could combat it. I put just 'Agree' instead of 'Strongly agree' because of only one reason. There is a case when culture appropriation is indeed bad and unjust - when the 'copyright' is stolen. When one culture appropriates credit of initially creating something. For example, Russia's claim to be inventors of borscht while actually it originates from Ukraine and as a Ukrainian I feel this as nothing but theft. But we don't object and even invite anybody to eat borscht, cook borscht, sell borscht and invent own recipes of borscht. We are not dominant culture on the West, but we are not a selfish culture clinging to 'this is only ours, don't you dare to use it'. We are not, and please don't even assume that we are like this, it's insulting. Just don't claim the initial authorship and that's it.
